Charge separation effects in magnetized electron-ion plasma expansion into a vacuum
Kazumi Nishimura, Edison Liang, S. Peter Gary
Charge separation effects in the expansion of magnetized relativistic electron-ion plasmas into a vacuum are examined using 2-1/2-dimensional particle-in-cell plasma simulations. T…

Particle Energization in an Expanding Magnetized Relativistic Plasma
Edison Liang, Kazumi Nishimura, Hui Li +1
Using a 2-1/2-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) code to simulate the relativistic expansion of a magnetized collisionless plasma into a vacuum, we report a new mechanism in which…
